The next morning.
County Magistrate Hou arrived in the city.
His visit was to see Secretary Lu and Mayor Zheng.
Incidentally, he also planned to visit Director Qin.
One of the reasons for his visit was indeed because he had been disadvantaged under Song Guanchao's jurisdiction.
Of course, this was just a part of the reason, and a very small part at that.
More importantly, it was because of Dujiang City, the county-level city.
Although Dujiang County had already been upgraded to a county-level city, it still fell under the jurisdiction of Lingjiang City.
There are generally two types of administrative superiors for a county-level city.
One is a prefecture-level city, and the other is direct provincial control.
Any county-level city would hope to be directly governed by the province.
The benefits of being under provincial administration are obvious, such as having relatively higher management authority and autonomy.
